The electronic device 10 may provide a first quantity of first tokens to first players and a first quantity of second tokens to second players as a reward for participating in the game.

The electronic device 10 may convert the first quantity of first tokens among the participation fees of the second players into non-withdrawable tokens and provide the first quantity of second tokens to the second players. The electronic device 10 may change the state of the first token from a withdrawalable state to a non-withdrawable state and provide the first token in a non-withdrawable state as a second token to the second player. A predetermined number of first tokens out of the participation fee of each of the second players may be converted into a predetermined number of second tokens, and as a result, after the end of the game, each of the second players loses a predetermined number of first tokens out of the participation fee and receives a predetermined amount of first tokens. You can obtain a second token. For example, the electronic device 10 may convert a second quantity of first tokens from the participation fee of the 2-1 player into non-withdrawable tokens and provide a second quantity of second tokens to the 2-1 player. A third quantity of first tokens from the participation fee of the 2-2 player may be converted into non-withdrawable tokens, and a third quantity of second tokens may be provided to the 2-2 player. According to one embodiment, the electronic device 10 may convert a predetermined number of first tokens from the participation fee of each second player into non-withdrawable tokens using a blockchain network. Specific embodiments will be described in Figure 4 below.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 10 may provide the same quantity of second tokens to each of the second players, and provide the first players with the same amount of second tokens based on the ranking of the first players according to the results of playing the game. The first token of the first quantity can be distributed. In this case, the first quantity may be the quantity of the second token provided to each of the second players multiplied by the number of the second players. For example, if the number of first players is 80, the number of second players is 20, and the quantity of second tokens provided to each of the second players is 10, the electronic device 10 provides the first quantity of 200 withdrawable tokens. The first token can be provided to the first players, and the first quantity of 200 non-withdrawable second tokens can be provided to the second players. The electronic device 10 may convert the 10 first tokens held by each of the second players into non-withdrawable tokens and provide 10 second tokens to each of the second players. In other words, the 10 first tokens held by each of the second players can be converted into 10 second tokens. The electronic device 10 may provide 200 first tokens to the first players based on the rankings of the first players so that more first tokens are provided to the first player with a higher ranking. For example, three first tokens may be provided to each of the first players ranked from 1st to 40th, and two first tokens may be provided to each of the first players ranked from 41st to 80th. there is.

According to another embodiment, the electronic device 10 distributes a first quantity of first tokens to the first players based on the rankings of the first players and the second players according to the game play results, and distributes the first tokens to the second players. The first quantity of second tokens can be distributed to the players. The electronic device 10 distributes a first quantity of first tokens to the first players so that more first tokens are provided to the first player with a higher rank, and more second tokens are provided to the second player with a lower rank. The first quantity of second tokens may be distributed to the second players to be provided. For example, when the number of first players is 80, the number of second players is 20, and the first quantity is 200, the electronic device 10 provides three first tokens to each of the first players from 1st to 40th places. Provide 2 first tokens to each of the first players ranked 41st to 80th, provide 5 second tokens to each of the second players ranked 81st to 90th, and 91st place. 15 secondary tokens can be provided to each of the secondary players from to 100th place.

The electronic device 10 may newly issue a first quantity of first tokens and provide the first quantity of first tokens to the first players. The first token may be a token that the electronic device 10 or a game server including the electronic device 10 has the authority to issue. In addition, the second token is a token that cannot be withdrawn, but can function as currency, a means of exchange within the game platform. For example, a player can use a second token within the game platform to purchase characters or items to participate in the game.

The electronic device 10 may transmit information about the first token provided to each of the first players to the terminal of each of the first players, and transmit information about the second token provided to each of the second players to the terminal of each of the first players. It can be transmitted to each player’s terminal.

In a conventional game system, tokens are issued and provided to players as compensation for participating in the game, so inflation may occur in which the value of the token gradually decreases as more tokens are issued. However, when providing tokens as compensation to a plurality of players participating in the game, the electronic device 10 according to this embodiment newly issues the first quantity of first tokens provided to the first players who are the winners. , By converting the first quantity of first tokens among the participation fees of the loser second players into non-withdrawable tokens, the value of the newly issued first tokens can be maintained as is, thus preventing inflation.

The electronic device 10 may obtain information about the first player's blockchain account from the first player's terminal.

In step S320, the electronic device 10 may transmit information that a predetermined number of first tokens are provided to the blockchain account of the first player to the blockchain network 30 based on the information confirmed in S310. Specifically, the electronic device 10 stores information that a predetermined number of first tokens are provided to the first player's blockchain account in an internal database or provides this information to the first player's terminal, while providing this information to the first player's terminal. 30) can be transmitted. For example, the electronic device 10 creates a transaction containing information that a predetermined amount of the first token is provided to the blockchain account of the first player, and sends the generated transaction to the blockchain network 30. Can be transmitted to at least one node.

In step S330, the blockchain network 30 may process the information transmitted in S320 based on the consensus algorithm. According to one embodiment, the blockchain network 30 may record or store information transmitted in S320 based on a consensus algorithm. The blockchain network 30 may record or store a transaction containing information that a predetermined amount of the first token is provided to the first player's blockchain account in the form of a block based on the consensus algorithm. Additionally, the blockchain network 30 may provide information that a transaction has been recorded to at least one of the electronic device 10 and the first player's terminal. According to one embodiment, the blockchain network 30 may perform functions such as issuing tokens or transmitting tokens.

In addition, the electronic device 10 can transmit information about the game play of each of the plurality of players to the blockchain network 30, and the blockchain network 30 records the transmitted information based on a consensus algorithm. Or you can save it.

Accordingly, the electronic device 10 can use the blockchain network 30 to record information about the first token provided to the first player or information about the play in the game of each of the plurality of players, The integrity and transparency of recorded information can be guaranteed.

Figure 4 shows an embodiment in which an electronic device provides a second token to a second player using a blockchain network.

In step S410, the electronic device 10 may check information about the second token to be provided to the second player and information about the second player's blockchain account. Information about the second token may include information about the quantity of the second token. The electronic device 10 may obtain information about the second player's blockchain account from the second player's terminal.

In step S420, the electronic device 10 may transmit information that a predetermined number of first tokens cannot be withdrawn from the second player's blockchain account to the blockchain network 30 based on the information confirmed in S310. According to one embodiment, the electronic device 10 creates a transaction containing information that a predetermined amount of first tokens is locked up for a certain period of time or permanently in the second player's blockchain account and blocks this transaction. It can be transmitted to at least one node of the chain network 30.

In step S430, the blockchain network 30 may process the information transmitted in S420 based on the consensus algorithm. According to one embodiment, the blockchain network 30 may record or store the information transmitted in S420 based on a consensus algorithm.

For example, the electronic device 10 may receive a determination result that a third player has committed abusing from the first participant's terminal 503, and may receive a determination result that the third player has committed abusing from the second participant's terminal 505. You may receive a judgment result indicating that you did not do so. For example, the first participant can input a decision result regarding whether the third player committed abusing into the terminal, and information about the input decision result can be transmitted from the terminal to the electronic device 10.

In step S560, the electronic device 10 may determine whether the third player has committed abusing in the game based on the determination result received in S550. In other words, the electronic device 10 can determine whether the third player committed abusing during the game play process as a result of the first judgment. According to one embodiment, the electronic device 10 may determine whether the third player committed abusing according to a majority vote based on the judgment results of each of the first participants. In other words, if there are more participants among the first participants who determine that the third player committed abusing than other participants, the electronic device 10 may determine that the third player committed abusing, and the third player among the first participants If there are more participants than other participants who determine that the third player did not commit abusing, the electronic device 10 may determine that the third player did not commit abusing.

When it is determined that the third player committed abusing in the game, the electronic device 10 gives a predetermined number of tokens out of the third player's game participation fee to at least the fourth player and the third player among the primary participants determined to have committed abusing. It can be distributed to one primary participant. In addition, when it is determined that the third player did not abuse the game, the electronic device 10 gives a predetermined number of tokens out of the fourth player's game participation fee to the third player and the first participants to determine that the third player did not abuse the game. It can be distributed to at least one primary participant judged.

After determining whether the third player has abused the game, the electronic device 10 may provide first tokens to the first players who are winners in the game and provide second tokens to second players who are losers. there is. If it is determined in the first judgment that the third player committed abusing, the electronic device 10 may not provide the first token to the third player if the third player is included in the first players.

The electronic device 10 may transmit a transaction containing information about tokens provided to the third player, the fourth player, or the first participants according to the results of the first judgment to the blockchain network, and the blockchain network Transmitted transactions can be recorded or stored.

The electronic device 10 may perform staking on the third player's participation fee and the fourth player's participation fee while the first referee is in progress.

Accordingly, the electronic device 10 makes it possible for a plurality of players to monitor each other and play the game fairly by introducing a judgment system for determining whether a specific player has committed abusing according to a suspicion report. In particular, the electronic device 10 determines whether a specific player has committed abusing in the referee based on the judgment results of the participants, thereby enabling a more objective determination of whether a specific player has committed abusing. In addition, the game participation fee is provided to the player who reported suspicion or to the player who received suspicion according to the referee result, preventing multiple players from indiscriminately reporting suspicion, and the game participation fee is provided to the participants according to the referee result. As it is provided, the participation rate of participants can be increased and participants can be motivated to make fairer judgments.

In step S610, the electronic device 10 may determine whether the third player committed abusing in the first judgment. For example, the electronic device 10 may determine whether a third player has committed abusing in the game based on the judgment results of each participant, as shown in S560 of FIG. 5 .

In step S620, the electronic device 10 may receive a request to appeal the result of the first judgment from the terminal 601. The electronic device 10 may receive a request to appeal the result of the first judgment from the terminal 601 within a preset time after the decision in the first judgment. The terminal 601 may be at least one terminal among the third player, the fourth player who reported suspicion of abusing by the third player in the first referee, or the first participants who participated in the first referee. According to one example, when the first referee determines that the third player committed abusing, at least one terminal 601 among the third player and at least one primary participant who determined that the third player did not abuse the first referee An appeal against the result may be transmitted to the electronic device 10. In addition, at least one of the first participants judged to have committed abusing by the 4th player and the 3rd player, as the other party to the dissent applicant, submits an application for participation to the second referee, who is the dissent judge against the result of the first referee. It can be transmitted to the electronic device 10 through . According to another example, when it is determined in the first judgment that the third player did not commit abusing, at least one terminal 601 among the fourth player and at least one primary participant that judged that the third player committed abusing is judged by the first judgment. An appeal against the result may be transmitted to the electronic device 10. In addition, the third player and at least one of the first participants judged not to have committed abusing, at least one of the first participants, as the other party to the appeal applicant, transmits an application for participation in the second judgment to the electronic device 10 through the terminal. You can.

When receiving an appeal request, the electronic device 10 may receive information about the reason for the appeal related to the decision of the first referee from the terminal 601. For example, reasons for disapproval related to the first referee's decision may include information on why the third player committed abusing (e.g., evidence) or information on why the third player did not abuse (e.g., evidence).
